Candy Page #4

Synopsis: This story is a narration from an Australian man who falls in love with two kinds of Candy: a woman of the same name and heroin. The narrator changes from a smart-aleck to someone trying to find a vein to inject, while Candy changes from an actress, call girl, streetwalker, and then a madwoman. Starting in Sydney, the two eventually end up in Melbourne to go clean, but they fail. This leads them to turn to finding money and heroin, while other posessions and attachments become unimportant.

I'm Sorry!

Will you let me make you a nice taste!

I'm getting sick of this, d*ckhead!

What is your problem?

You are my problem!

You are a waste of space.

Are you getting your period

or something?

No, Dan.

I hardly have my period anymore!

...because my body's

all f***ed up!

It's this f***ing nightmare

you've led me into!

Oh right! Like I held a

gun to your head! Did I? Eh??

Held you down, hit you up, did I?

F*** You!

F*** you too, Candy!

Well, F*** you double then!

Dan, have you noticed, the more

I work, the less I paint?

Candy, I don't want a fight! OK?

I just don't see what your problem is tonight! I mean...

We've got a life!

It's neither good nor bad! OK?

Do you know... Do you know what I do?

Listen to this, dick f***!

What do I do all day?

I f*** men I hate!

-Don't do this.

-What are going to do about it?

Look, Okay, that's it! Alright?

No more brothels, No more escorts!

-We're gonna take the time to

start a new life!

-You don't understand do you?

That's really it this time.

That's going away!

Maybe I want to keep using!

You know, I'm sick of working, yes,

but...

...What if I want to keep using?

What are you gonna do about it?

Candy!

Why don't you ring gay blokes?

You start working!

You hock your ass!

Hey, you know you can not do that!

You know, I'll get...

I'll get AIDS!

No you won't, you moron!

You'll make them use condoms,

like everybody else!

I wouldn't know what to do.

You're heterosexual, right? So you're

just doing what you're good at anyway.

Did you even hear what you're saying?

Let me f*** women, no problems!

If I can do it with women, I'd make us all the money! You'd never have to work, I swear!

But... These women, they want

muscle types, don't they?

If there was a market out there, I'd

do it, but I don't think there is!

And I'd be hopeless with the gay stuff!

You know that!

You're f***ing unbeleivable!

I can't get to sleep with that on.

Can you turn it off?

Candy, it's a really good movie!

I'll turn it down, okay?

Anyway, it finishes in half an hour.

F*** you!

Go to bed.

How can you even hear that?

The light's bugging me!

I can't believe it. / i

I can't f***ing believe it. / i

What? I'm not making any noise.

The light!

The Light's keeping me awake.

OK, look! I'll cover the light!

Hmm??

There's more light coming from the

workshop than that!

A**hole! / i

The pen!! I can hear the pen

scratching on the paper! / i.

How? This is ridiculous, Candy.

You're just looking for an excuse!

Turn off the light and come to bed.

I'm not going to discuss this with you anymore!

Turn the light off!

Nope! I'm not even talking to you!

-TURN THE F***ING LIGHT OFF!!

-...Aghhh!
